Kirill Bobyrev 0f55045526 Pull google/benchmark library to the LLVM tree
This patch pulls google/benchmark v1.4.1 into the LLVM tree so that any
project could use it for benchmark generation. A dummy benchmark is
added to `llvm/benchmarks/DummyYAML.cpp` to validate the correctness of
the build process.

The current version does not utilize LLVM LNT and LLVM CMake
infrastructure, but that might be sufficient for most users. Two
introduced CMake variables:

* `LLVM_INCLUDE_BENCHMARKS` (`ON` by default) generates benchmark
  targets
* `LLVM_BUILD_BENCHMARKS` (`OFF` by default) adds generated
  benchmark targets to the list of default LLVM targets (i.e. if `ON`
  benchmarks will be built upon standard build invocation, e.g. `ninja` or
  `make` with no specific targets)

List of modifications:

* `BENCHMARK_ENABLE_TESTING` is disabled
* `BENCHMARK_ENABLE_EXCEPTIONS` is disabled
* `BENCHMARK_ENABLE_INSTALL` is disabled
* `BENCHMARK_ENABLE_GTEST_TESTS` is disabled
* `BENCHMARK_DOWNLOAD_DEPENDENCIES` is disabled

# How to contribute #
We'd love to accept your patches and contributions to this project. There are
a just a few small guidelines you need to follow.
## Contributor License Agreement ##
Contributions to any Google project must be accompanied by a Contributor
License Agreement. This is not a copyright **assignment**, it simply gives
Google permission to use and redistribute your contributions as part of the
project.
* If you are an individual writing original source code and you're sure you
own the intellectual property, then you'll need to sign an [individual
CLA][].
* If you work for a company that wants to allow you to contribute your work,
then you'll need to sign a [corporate CLA][].
You generally only need to submit a CLA once, so if you've already submitted
one (even if it was for a different project), you probably don't need to do it
again.
[individual CLA]: https://developers.google.com/open-source/cla/individual
[corporate CLA]: https://developers.google.com/open-source/cla/corporate
Once your CLA is submitted (or if you already submitted one for
another Google project), make a commit adding yourself to the
[AUTHORS][] and [CONTRIBUTORS][] files. This commit can be part
of your first [pull request][].
[AUTHORS]: AUTHORS
[CONTRIBUTORS]: CONTRIBUTORS
## Submitting a patch ##
1. It's generally best to start by opening a new issue describing the bug or
feature you're intending to fix. Even if you think it's relatively minor,
it's helpful to know what people are working on. Mention in the initial
issue that you are planning to work on that bug or feature so that it can
be assigned to you.
1. Follow the normal process of [forking][] the project, and setup a new
branch to work in. It's important that each group of changes be done in
separate branches in order to ensure that a pull request only includes the
commits related to that bug or feature.
1. Do your best to have [well-formed commit messages][] for each change.
This provides consistency throughout the project, and ensures that commit
messages are able to be formatted properly by various git tools.
1. Finally, push the commits to your fork and submit a [pull request][].
